Abstract

The authors reflect on heart failure with a normal ejection fraction. They suggest that research has shown that heart failure with a normal ejection fraction is now a more common cause of hospital admission than systolic heart failure in many parts of the world. They argue that the condition is underdiagnosed, has a high mortality rate and lacks evidence based treatment.
